"They have been very close friends until they quarrell."
"They have been very close friends until they quarrell."

For this type of questions always try to guess which comes first and later. I mean the sequence the first takes the past participle and the second takes the simple past just like
"As soon as I left for the railway station, the train had left."
"As soon as I left for the railway station, the train had left."

They were friends earlier. It happened first. So must use past perfect tense.

They is plural and so we are using had. Is this right?

What is wrong with it? It sounds fine when you say it out loud.

Eg of have been.
I have been in this college since 2010.
It means I m still in this college.
Above sentence is in past tense means quarrel occurred in past too so there is no point of using have been because now they are not friend instead of have had is used.
